I don't have a good answer for you.
I just believe that we are all creatures from a higher being and we don't have to go sit in Church all day on a Sunday to have that belief. People put too much focus on religion.
I'm happy being the free spirit I am.
If I'll burn in he*L because of that, then the God people believes in isn't real because according to what I've been told, God forgives.

Everyone has the ability to believe. People just suppress the truth. The evidence in nature alone demonstrates a grand design (which calls for a designer).
There is also historical data that any open minded person can look up, research, and discover God. People merely choose to reject it.
We are all products of the Fall of mankind. In the beginning, God created everything good. Mankind decided that it knew better than God, and has been under a curse ever since. This curse can be overcome, but requires a willing heart.

She didn't want to give you the answer. If you consider the Potter and the clay as God is the Potter and you are the clay, then God has a right to make good pots and bad pots. If I thought I could be in this category I would be on my knees asking Christ to save my soul.

God created all of us with an ability to choose. If He hadn't, we wouldn't really be able to truly love someone. God wants you to seek Him. He wants you to be the one to decide whether to believe in Him or not.
What kind of love would it be if your b/f had no choice but to "love" you?
That wouldn't be true love at all, but blind obedience.
We who love and follow God and His son Jesus do so because we want to, we choose to, because we have come to realize how very much God loves us.
You have the ability to believe in God, and the ability to disbelieve.
You were created with the inability to fly on your own without an airplane. You were created with the inability to become invisible any time you wish.
But you have the ability to believe in the One Who created you and Who loves you.
He is waiting for you to seek Him, and when you do He will reveal Himself to you.
I dare you to try seeking God with all your heart and mind. He will meet you when you seek for Him!

Great question!
Because of love.
Why is it so bad to eat a fruit from the tree? Is that so bad that all have to die?
Those questions are not prudent. The whole eating of the forbidden fruit is the question of freedom.
Love can not exist without freedom.
You have a heart that refuses to believe because God created you with free-will and He won't force you to believe in Him because that is without freedom and love.
God loves you.
The trees in the Bible give you reasons why you should believe in Him. The first tree caused all to die. The second tree where Christ died on the cross for you freed you from death.
And if you believe in Him and live a life that bears his fruits (not yours) then you will know him who loves you so much that he can only give you the freedom to love him.

You don't have the inability to believe in Him. You just choose not to. There's nothing wrong with freedom of choice and you're not hurting anyone.

You do have the ability to believe in Him, everyone does. It;s not like you have some birth defect that prevents you from believing in Him. What it is, is that you have the Free Will to not believe. You took that path to not believe in him, it's not that you are unable to, you choose not too. I have the ability to believe or not to, and I choose to believe.
You also have the ability to believe in Buddha, Allah, Odin, or anyone/anything else. It's what you choose to do.

You still want to believe the lie that you are god, you are at the center of the universe and nobody is greater than you. Until you wake up to reality you will live the grand lie in your mind and die in it.

we are not robots or programmed.
God is always calling us.
It's up to you to believe or not.
God draws you to Jesus,
When you accept Jesus, He sends the Holy Spirit,
The Holy Spirit reveals Truth.
